Abstract We propose an approach to visualizing the scientific world and its evolution by constructing minimum spanning trees (MSTs) a two‐dimensional map of journals using database Science Citation Index (SCI) during 1994–2001. The structures constructed MSTs are consistent with sorting SCI categories. science is based on our MST results. Such shows relation among various knowledge clusters their citation properties. temporal can also be delineated in map. In particular, this clearly linear...

Purpose: Imaging of midbrain nuclei using T 2‐ or 2*‐weighted MRI often entails long echo time, leading to scan time. In this study, an inverse double‐echo steady‐state (iDESS) technique is proposed for efficiently depicting nuclei. Methods: Thirteen healthy subjects participated in study. iDESS was performed along with two sets spoiled gradient‐echo images (SPGR1, time identical and SPGR2, clinical scanning parameters as a reference standard) comparison. Generation composite combining...
